Chapter 3 pIpETTING Setting the Volume The volume of liquid to be aspirated is set using the volumeter. The volumeter consists of three number dials, which are read from top (most significant digit) to bottom (least significant digit). A marker is used to set exact or intermediate volumes using the scale on the bottom dial.
For large volume changes, proceed as follows: Slide and hold the volume unlock button to unlock the volumeter. When decreasing the volume setting, approach the required setting, by 1/3 of a turn. When increasing the volume setting, pass the required setting by 1/3 of a turn.
Dispensing Place the end of the capillary against the inside wall of the recipient vessel, Press the push button slowly to the first stop, Keeping the push button depressed, move the capillary away from the sidewall, Withdraw MICROMAN E from the vessel and release the push button.
